been achieved, particularly
with such a small amount of

Trustees plan to review Competitive
Matching Grant applications at their October
2010 and April 2011 meetings; the
Foundation will notify districts if this
business cycle changes.
The Trustees were able to restore World Fund
budget for Matching Grants largely because
Rotarians and other friends of Rotary
donated a record amount of almost $115
million to the Annual Programs Fund in
2007-08 (World Fund allocations are based on
Annual Programs Fund donations three
years prior). Additionally, because
investment income stabilized, the Trustees
did not need to use a significant amount of
World Fund to supplement the Foundation’s
programs operations budget for the coming
year.
If you have questions about Matching Grants
and the 2010-11 program year budget, please
